On Orval Day 2024, we got together at my place in Dorval to taste my collection of Orval.
14 years: 2010–2023
I’ve been collecting a case of Orval every year since 2010.
When the eight of us sat down to taste them, that March, I had 14 annual cases…
…and I wanted to put them all on the table at the same time.
To have them side by side. To compare vintage over vintage.
So we did.
